Mega Millions Winning Numbers: Did Anyone Win The Friday, May 6 Jackpot?

​​The Mega Millions jackpot has grown after the Friday night lottery drawing yielded no winners for the $70 million grand prize with a cash value of $40 million. However, there were plenty of smaller monetary prizes that resulted from the latest drawing.

The winning Mega Millions numbers drawn on Friday, May 6 were 16, 21, 33, 52, 70, with a gold Mega Ball of 10. The Megaplier was 2X.

Since the jackpot went unclaimed, it will grow to $86 million with a cash option of $49.1 million. The next jackpot drawing will take place Tuesday, May 10.

Along with no grand prize winner, there were no instant millionaires following the Friday night drawing. If a player would have hit the Match 5, they would have won $1 million. If players would have matched five numbers with a Megaplier, they could have won $2 million.

There were 19 players who managed to hit the Match 4 plus the gold Mega Ball, winning $10,000 each. Meanwhile, there was only one player who hit the Match 4 plus the gold Mega Ball with the Megaplier and won $20,000. The rest of the wins from the night ranged between $2 and $1,000.

The latest Mega Millions jackpot comes after technical difficulties caused a delay in the Friday night drawing. Those who tuned in to watch the drawing at its regular time saw a message rather than winning numbers.

“Due to technical difficulties, tonight’s drawing has been temporarily halted. Once the malfunction is corrected, the drawing will be conducted under supervision of the auditor,” the message read.

After an hour's delay, the winning numbers were shared on the official Mega Millions website.

Jackpot winners can receive their grand prize winnings through either a one-time lump sum payment or an annuity. Those who opt for the annuity receive one immediate payment, followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.

Mega Millions can be played in 45 states as well as the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
